"Qin Feng, don't feel burdened!"
Seeing that Qin Feng hadn't spoken, the Seventh Elder immediately tried to persuade him. "Don't forget, when you first came to the Immortal Alliance, the one you most wanted as your master was me. It was only because Fourth Senior Brother shamelessly snatched you away."
"Shamelessly!?"
Mengyao Fairy rolled her eyes beside them, realizing that Seventh Elder really had been spoiled rotten.
Though she'd married into Lingxiao Palace long ago, she'd still heard how Fourth Elder had spent his magic power to send down a Divine Mark, all just to secure Qin Feng as his disciple in advance.
Yet in Seventh Elder's telling, it had become an act of shamelessness.
And she didn't say a single word about the Top Grade Immortal Sword, either!
"Thank you for thinking so highly of me, Seventh Elder..."
Qin Feng suddenly spoke with righteous solemnity. "But a disciple cannot have two masters. Since I became Fourth Elder's disciple, he is my one and only master. A teacher for a day is a father for life!"
"Huh!?"
Caught off guard, Xiao Bai froze in shock.
Faced with a lonely, widowed noblewoman, its master had actually rejected her without the slightest hesitation!?
At that moment—
Qin Feng still looked righteous and solemn after finishing his speech, but the corner of his eye drifted toward Mengyao Fairy.
Though becoming Seventh Elder's disciple would unlock plenty of achievements and let him experience the joy of being a Son of Heaven, it might cost him points in Mengyao Fairy's eyes—and that wouldn't help the story unfold as planned.
Most importantly...
If he became Seventh Elder's disciple, he and Little San San would be peers. But if he wooed Seventh Elder, he'd become Little San San's elder.
"Fourth Brother, you're a lucky man!"
